Intel dedicated graphics #1854

Open mylove90 opened 4 years ago

mylove90 commented 4 years ago

Dear Sir,

Good day.

My pc has an intel cpu core i5 3340 with hd2500 dedicated graphics card

My issue here is that my screen resolution is not sticking... sometimes my pc boots with 1920x1080 and sometimes it boots with 1024x768.

Another note that when i open the settings and if the pc booted with the high resolution...the resolution automatically goes to the low one.

How to fix this ?

Thanks in advance Best regards

Sounds like a potentially bad cable. It's possible that the connection isn't good enough and sometimes the system will try to fall back to a different video mode. Try a different cable. If you have changed the screen resolution in GNOME once, it will remember your setting - change it back to a different setting (toggle it if needed).

But that doesn't happen with Win 10 at all with same hardware and cable

Edit: i read somewhere that i need xserver-xorg-video-intel package for that driver but i can't find it in swupd

You have the right intel drivers already, they come by default in clearlinux.

Windows and Linux drivers are not identical. It's possible there is a bug here. It doesn't help that GNOME is possibly changing video modes here, perhaps using something like Xfce4 here temporarily may help. Also, xrandr may be helpful from a terminal.

Tried Xfce4 and it was switching resolutions too Used xrandr to add the resolution manually but after adding it didn't apply correctly I still think it is a driver bug
